However, it still<br>does not take away from the fact that there are a lot of channel surfers<br>out there who like to pause and play live TV.</blockquote><div><br>Our point is that only new users channel surf. Experienced users have so much stuff recorded waiting to watch that they never feel the need to look for something on right now to watch. I've got something like 50 hours of TV waiting to be watched so why would I waste my time surfing?

<br></blockquote></div><br>You have realise that a system like MythTV is not a better VCR, it's a completely new thing with a completely different usage model. It's a paradigm shift. Supporting obsolete usage models is nice, but it's not the focus.
